The Turtles

Derik and Ford created a pond for turtles this summer, a father and son project. They turned an unused corner of the backyard into a turtle refuge.



Ford, digging away. This dirt had so much clay it took more hours than anticipated to dig the hole.







Mature foliage and some ground cover will make the pond area perfect.

These are the little stars of the show. We lost one the first day. We don't know if it got away or got taken away. These three seem to be content with their new home.
